Steve Lamacq plays this 1970 rock classic in full. The band's second album features some of their best-known tracks such as Iron Man, War Pigs and the title track Paranoid.

Originally called War Pigs (hence the soldier on the album artwork) the band's label pushed to name the record after the successful lead single Paranoid. The decision paid off commercially, with the record topping the UK album chart, and going four times platinum in the US. Despite mixed reviews from critics at the time it's become a key part of the heavy metal genre, with bands for decades after inspired by these eight tracks.
